The Purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of anisometropia on binocular status in healthy adults. One to five dioptres of unilateral hyperopia and myopia were induced in 30 adults by putting experimental lens in the trial frame in front of the eye concerned. The effect of induced anisometropia on binocularity in the eye was assessed with the worth-four Dot test for distance and near, Bagolini’s test to assess fusion and the TNO test for stereopsis. On WFDT for distance, with induced hyperopia and myopia in either eye, all subjects lacked BSV (p<0.05). And for near all subjects demonstrated BSV. On Bagolini test with increasing hyperopia and myopia, fusion response was significantly deterioted and On TNO test, all patients had a significant worsening in the stereoacuity (p
